Is anyone really living to his or her fullest potential on the planet? I believe we have unlimited potential and as long as we are on this planet we have a sacred responsibility to shine our light on the world. There is not a single person reading this right now that does not feel a pull to something greater. That is because you are greater than you can possibly imagine and that greatness, our true nature, what we call the soul, the light I am talking about, is always drawing you nearer to the source of all creation. Nearer to itself and that which we all belong; I am that, you are that, all this is that, and that is all there is.
This means that you do not live in the universe you are the universe. You are an intrinsic part of it. You are not the person you think you are, but you are a focal point where the universe becomes conscious of itself. It wants to break down the walls of separation and maybe even isolation that you feel and it wants to feel itself as its true nature, as one. Oneness is its true state. How do we do this? How do we let this light shine to its fullest? For many, like myself it is not one moment but a series of ah-ha’s or awakenings and experiences that allow us to let go. To let go of those things that no longer support our highest good. Those things that have separated us from our true nature and that have gotten in the way of our connecting to that part of ourselves that is the very core of creation. That part of god that resides in all of us from the beggar to the billionaire. What we THINK we see is the illusion. We cannot be that different if we are all part of the same stuff.

With every obstacle in my life, I ask myself where the hidden blessing is. The problem has already happened. Now look for what or where the opportunity is that this problem has brought you. Look for the lesson the answer is always within you, not outside you, as the problem and your mind would have you think.

“I love my father as the stars – he’s a bright shining example and a happy twinkling in my heart.” ~Terri Guillemets
Dad tomorrow is father’s day and it is still hard for me to believe that you are gone. I feel your presence every day and your gentle spirit remains in my heart. I will always carry you there and in my loving memories. Know that I will continue to live my life making you proud and to carry the lessons you taught me out into the world. I feel very grateful to have walked beside you in life and to have had you as my father.
“Any man can be a father. It takes someone special to be a dad.” ~Author Unknown
I am thankful for your continued presence in my life, Happy Dad’s Day! Know that you will never be forgotten.
“Sherman made the terrible discovery that men make about their fathers sooner or later… that the man before him was not an aging father but a boy, a boy much like himself, a boy who grew up and had a child of his own and, as best he could, out of a sense of duty and, perhaps love, adopted a role called Being a Father so that his child would have something mythical and infinitely important: a Protector, who would keep a lid on all the chaotic and catastrophic possibilities of life.” ~Tom Wolfe, The Bonfire of the Vanities
Giving Gratitude for Pain and Suffering at Thanksgiving November 25, 2009

Ironically, the best way to limit life’s pain is to accept that some pain is necessary. Accept that life is full of problems, and that it is through the pain of resolving these problems, that we learn and grow. Since Thanksgiving is a time set aside for gratitude most people tend to focus on what the mind perceives to be good, like the love of family, good friends and health to mention a few. However, what about the challenges and pain that life brings. Can you see the value of these gifts on this glorious holiday? Can you see the blessings that pain has brought you, the life lessons and the wisdom?
It is nice that we set aside a holiday to acknowledge our gratitude, but for me every day is a day to find gratitude and to be grateful. And yes, gratitude for my family, friends, the work I do and the love I receive from so many people. Furthermore, all the other things my mind perceives as good but I make an extra effort to see the blessings in my life challenges. By changing my perception about what my mind might thinks is bad, I have learned to recognize the blessings that pain and problems bring. This awareness has begun to shorten suffering in my life when my mind perceives something as bad.
This obviously takes practice and commitment to want to change how you perceive and experience the world. You are changing the way you have thought for most of your life, so be patient with yourself and know that you may not remember to do it every single time. Just recognize each time that you have forgotten, and then remember that you have a choice in how you perceive what you are going through. Recall experiences from your past where you suffered and then later recognized that you learned something positive from that situation or experience. Recalling such experiences over time will help retrain your mind to first think about a perceived negative experience in a new way.
The good news is that it works; the good news is that you can limit your suffering or eliminate suffering by seeing the lessons that pain and problems bring us.
We are all here to learn, grow and change, so embrace change; embrace pain and problems as part of your life because resistance of what is will only increase your suffering. “What you resist will persist and intensify.”
May this Thanksgiving bring you much love, health and happiness.; may it also bring you a new understanding of why we experience pain and have problems in our life so that you may suffer less, love more and live a life full of gratitude. In Love and Light, Tim
